Tons of Creative and Inspirational Ideas for Decorating Fabric! submitted by TeacherN on July 23, 2023, 2:52pm This book shows examples and how-tos for dozens of creative things to do with fabric. One could literally spend years exploring the ideas in this book. Some appear pretty simple and others are very complicated, but all are presented in a way that make them feel possible. One of my favorite features of the book are interviews with different artists where they answer questions about what inspires them, how they create their art, and what they do with their art. Even if you don't try any of the crafts in this book, you'll probably still find it interesting. If anything it will give you insight into much of the fabric-based items you see at art fairs. You'll be more able to appreciate all the work that went into making those items - or you may realize that you could make some of them yourself.
